Send us your measurements for the best fit for your custom wig.
Before you start:
Pin hair as flat and as tight as possible before taking the measurements. This will eliminate bulges that distort head contours.
Use a cloth tape measure to ensure accuracy.
1. Around the Head:
Measure all around the head. Starting at your natural hairline in front, follow your hairline to just above your ear. Measure around the back to the bend in your neck, just above your other ear, then around front to where you began. (Average measurement is 22 inches).
2. Front to Back:
Measure from your natural hairline in front, back over the crown to where your head meets the top of your neck. (Average measurement is 14 1/4inches).
3. Ear to Ear:
Starting at the top of one ear in the crease where a pair of glasses would rest, bring your tape measure up and over the top of your head and down to the same position at your other ear. (Average measurement is 11 1/2 inches).
For standard wig sizes (non-custom): If all three of your basic measurements do not match exactly to one on the size chart, choose the size that corresponds to the largest measurement.
The Velcro-TM tabs inside some wigs adjust up to 1" larger or smaller for a secure fit.
There are 3 basic ways to go about altering the size of a wig.
Professional adjustment to your measurements:
This involves cutting and sewing the wig cap or wefts.
It will cost about $150-$200.
Wigs adjusted in this manner cannot be returned.
Sewing the wig cap to make it smaller:
This involves sewing wefts together without any cutting.
It will cost about $50.
Wigs adjusted in this manner can be returned if the stitching can be removed to return the wig to its original condition. (The amount paid for adjusting the wig is not refundable even if you remove the stitching.)
You brave souls can adjust the size yourself:
Think of the wig like any other garment that you would take in (or let out a little). Sometimes a few carefully placed stitches can make all the difference.
It will cost you nothing but time and some nerves.
Wigs adjusted in this manner may not be returnable.
* Wefts are strips of material onto which the hair is attached
"This wig is FANTASTIC! I've gotten compliments every time I wore it, and people didn't even believe me that it wasn’t my own hair! This wig is super comfortable, airy, and light, and the hair is very soft."
